Welcome to Higham Hill

Higham Hill is a residential area located in the London Borough of Waltham Forest. It is situated in the northeastern part of Greater London and is bordered by Walthamstow, Leyton, and Chingford. The area is known for its diverse community, with a mix of different cultures and ethnicities. Higham Hill is also home to several green spaces, including Lloyd Park and Higham Hill Park, which provide a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life.

One of the main attractions of Higham Hill is its proximity to the popular Walthamstow Market. This bustling market is the longest outdoor market in Europe and offers a wide range of goods, from fresh produce to clothing and household items. Higham Hill residents can easily access the market via public transport or by foot, making it a convenient shopping destination. The area is also well-connected to other parts of London, with several bus routes and the Victoria line running through nearby Walthamstow Central station.

Higham Hill has a rich history, with evidence of human settlement dating back to the Bronze Age. The area was once home to several large estates, including Higham Lodge and Higham Hill House, which have since been demolished. Today, the area is primarily residential, with a mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, as well as more modern developments. Higham Hill is a vibrant and diverse community that offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life, while still providing easy access to all that London has to offer.
